Running

Running - An activity not unsimilar to walking, just a great deal faster. Many people enjoy it as competitive sport, recreation or exercize, however the primary motivation is definately a deeply felt masochistic spirit of self-hatred, or at least personal guilt at not having said spirit. It is one of those activities which are entirely unpleasent before, during and after, and which require surpressing several basic survival instincts during the act, for it to reach a satisfactory conclusion. However, it is a nice feeling, after a person gets in to the habit of running, to be able to climb the stairs, or catch a bus or what not, without rupturing a lung, or suffering a minor coronary.
